Eligible dividends are designated as such by the payor. They are grossed up by 45% and include dividends paid by:
  • Public corporations or other corporations or other corporations that are not Canadian-controlled private corporations (CCPC’s), that are resident in Canada and are subject to the federal general corporate income tax rate (i.e. 22.12% in 2007): or
  • CCPC’s, to the extent that the CCPC’s income is:
    - not investment income (other than eligible dividends from public corporations): and
    - subject to the federal general corporate income tax rate (i.e. the income is active business income not subject to the federal small business rate).
 
Non-eligible dividends are grossed up by 25% and include dividends paid out of either income eligible for the federal small business rate or a CCPC’s investment income (other than eligible dividends received from public corporations).
When two dividend rates are indicated, the lower rate has a negative federal and/or provincial/territorial component. A negative federal component shelters other income from federal tax and a negative provincial/territorial component shelters other income from provincial/territorial tax. As a result, depending on the level of other income, the combined federal and provincial/territorial rate could be higher, but will not exceed the higher rate shown, which applies if the taxpayer has no other income.

  1. This rate represents the effective tax rate on investment income of CCPC after the RDTOH and dividend refund mechanism have been taken into consideration.
  2. Active business income earned in Canada by a CCPC up to $300,000 for 2005 and 2006. This increases to $400,000 at December 31, 2007 and the additional $100,000 is prorated for the number of months in 2007.

  1. Taxpayers in top brackets (i.e. taxable income above $118,285) who receive Canadian non-eligible dividends can determine their tax by multiplying the dividend tax credit by the amount of non-eligible dividends (grossed up by 25%) and subtracting the result from the amount of tax shown in the table. For example, an Alberta resident with $250,000 taxable income consisting of $240,000 salary plus $10,000 of grossed up non-eligible dividends ($8,000 actual dividends) will pay the $85,748 tax shown, less 19.33% of $10,000, yielding $83,815.
  2. Taxpayers in top brackets (i.e., taxable income above $118,285) who receive Canadian eligible dividends can determine their tax by multiplying the dividends can determine their tax by multiplying the dividend tax credit by the amount of eligible dividends (grossed up by 45%) and subtracting the result from the amount of tax shown in the table. For example, a Manitoba resident with $200,000 taxable income consisting of $185,500 salary plus $14,500 of grossed-up eligible dividends ($10,000 actual dividends) will pay the $78,366 tax shown, less 29.97% of $14,500, yielding $74,020.
  3. When personal tax credits, in addition to the personal tax credit, are available, the results in this table are too high. For taxpayers in the top tax bracket of their jurisdictions, the amounts can be adjusted by subtracting the product of the percentage indicated (maximum value of additional credits) and the amount of each credit. Charitable donations over $200 have a higher maximum value.
